In July, 1848, history records the first movement among women for the discussion of their political, religious and social wrongs. Since then the demand for the right of suffrage has extended over many countries and has been granted, in one form or another, in the United States, in England and her colonies, in Australia, New Zealand, the Isle of Man and New South Wales. I Tax-paying women have voted by proxy in several nations of the Old World for many years. In the long history of woman's srongs there never has been so favorable a time to demand her complete emancipation in the United States as now, for we have for the first time in this Republic a President who has declared himself in favor of woman‘s political equality. When President Roosevelt was Governor of New York he recommended the enfranchisement of the women of the State in his message to the New York Legislature, and expressed the same opinion on several public occasions. Now is the opportune time for leading women to ask the President to make the same demand in his coming Message to Congress for this act of justice to thirty~six million American citizens new defrauded of their most sacred right, one that underlies all others, a voice in the laws. For, as the Fathers said long ago: “No just government can be formed without the consent of the governedg“ & In a speech made by the President at Fitchbnrg on Labor Day, he said that he was “in favor of an amendment to the Constitution of the the United States, conferring ndditionel power upon the feﬁerel government to deal with corporations." To control end restrain giant monopolies for the best interests of all the people is of vast import, but of far vaster importance is the establishment and protection of the rights end liberties of one half the people of the United States ~« the most moral half, too ~ namely, women. Surely there is no greater monopoly than that of ell men in denying to all women a voice in the laws they ere oomoelled to obeye Qotober 203 1902. Elisabeth Gndy Stanton.

Especially mignonette. I have never succeeded in raising that flower yet. Henry is busy gardening & I am nearly through house- cleaning. We have been home just two weeks, - found everything safe y& sound. It seems a long time since I parted with you & Cousin Nancy at N. Y. How is dear Cousin N.? How utterly vain all the a must seem to her as they do to any sick body.i Wilkeson is getting better at the water cure & now Gate is going. She has sent Maggie to Johnstown. who nurse & two younger children are to come tozme next week. Bayard is to go with his mother, so she will shut up her house & be free from all care for a time. "Dear Cate she has had a hard winter of it. The old house at Johnstown is being pulled down. We looked for you there every day for a week. Why did you not come? My children have all been through the mumps dispensation.i How do yours manage the whooping cough? When you write which I hope will M be soon tell me all about your household & how the house at - ‘f gets on. That trunk Dear Liz was elegantly packed & the satin ress came without a wrinkle. I must give you Mama's last for Cousin Nancy to laugh at.

I Give a great deal of love from Henry & me to each & all. The spirits seem to be making some new manifestations. I am,convincedy that it is all humbug. How strange is not that these very minds that reject Christ & his miracles & all the mysteries of the Bible because they are opposed to reason & the truth as we see it in other revelations of God's laws, should be deluded by this miserable piece of humbug. I believe this is all done by some human means. There's nothing more wonderful about this than the preformances of the necronancer. My Seneca women wish to know when they get their land. Ask Charley if we sent our list.

The article signed J.V.N. is your beloved Mr. Johnson, but do not mention it or Jackson _& Miss Gilbert would tear my eyes out. “Our daughter” you see is getting topheayy. She tells three lies this month. She says she was next to you to wear the dress. I wore it several weeks before she did. She says she does not wear a bodice I have never seen her without one, & a very long one too. She says I write over my own signature as much- as to say that I donot write any of the editorials. In this very number are six editorials written by me. The whole column share your name is mentioned is mine, then “The Detroit Tribune", about the Lowell girls & the man in pettiooats.y Which one of us is responsible for this lack of moral senmiment in child? =A.man was sent here from J Boston to get a daguereotype of Mrs. B. for the “Beaten museum“ 3 paper published in that city. It is quite a large paper & the whole first page is devoted to a biographical sketch & full length out of Mrs. B. I think Julius you ought to be thankful that your name has not been blazoned about as a leader of fashion, a kind of female Beau Brummel. I am sure I am glad that I have kept out of this part of the preformance. I would as soon have my name on the bottle I family all over the country, as Lunds Sasaparilla or Stains panacea. No Julius you can immortalize yourself on something better than petticoats.l Julius you must write. You write,excellent letters. Do write one for the next Lily, about servants; children, the costume, labor, or anything. Suppose you write a series of letters to mothers. Reread Combo with care, & teach mothers just how to take care of their babies. This would be a great amusement to you & of real use to many an ignorant mother. You need not let anyone but Massa Johnson know _ ‘until you appear in print & are approved.J Now do this Julius. Amelia & I get on delightfully. We have been feasting on strawberries. My baby is very good & grows finely. I continue to be his nurse & it iiseasier to look after him than to train an ignorant Irish girl. I g thave invented such a variety of ways to keep him quiet, that is ways for him to keep himself quiet. I'll tell you how site now in his carriage, comfortable behind him, pillow before him. A tiny tape is tied to the top, a bell is tied to the top also; hanging down about ltwo fingersfrom the top. He has the long tape in his hands which he plays with just as a kitten does with a string, every little whilehey. knocks the bell, then he looks steadily at it until it is perfectly I still. hhen he is tired of bell & string &.I must invent some otherll position. Thursday morning, I am writing this letter by installments.

Anthony, this letter was probably written in August, 1848 Dear Liz, You were the innocent cause of having my house swept & garnished. My shoes were blackened up by a white man.& my piazzas & woodhouse whitewashed by a black one. Saturday night found us in exquisite order but no Julius to admire. I "have no fear of man," so do not hesitate to bring Charles the I have no cook, one frail girl of fourteen is my only dependence. I can give Charles boiled eggs bread & butter & coffee &c, &c. He shall not go hungry. Do not let this keep you home a single day. You spoke of getting me a cook in Syracuse is there any hope in that direction? I want a good faithful girl “an old girl". A knitting factory has just been opened here that has swallowed up all the girls. Mr. Johnson has to take care of baby all the time & when he sleeps Work as fast as she can go. Henry is still in Buffalo. The last letters from Johnstown give as bad news of my Father. He is gradually declining & suffers a good deal. I wish Cousin Gerrit & Nancy could go done again. He has always loved your Father very much» My baby grows finely. Write often. What do you think of boarding where Aunt Belle new is? If she gives up her rooms the let of September suppose I take them.for the winter. Do you think I could stand the board 2! You know I an a great epicure. I am desperate sick of working & attending to the fleshly needs. Love to all Your Johnson I Addressyto Mrs. Miller (Elizabeth Smith Miller) Show less

We are speaking for the cause of Woman. sr Train is doing the same. We are satisfied that no is a pure minded noble man who neither smokes chews drinks gambols his esoﬁ.or swears, & an ardent & eloquent ad~ vocate of our idea. He lays his talents & wealth at our feet, giving us a triumphant journey through the states, papers re- porting three a four columns. Now you must suppose we lack common sense to drop the only influential man in the nation who is ready to stand by our guns. No! no! I love the cause of women too well. toasesaisgch a power. I shall not forget how, our reformers haveetésﬁeethemselres in the past on this qnes~ tion hos, in our Constitutional conrention,.not one leading man in the state pleaded our cause before its members. Beecher even turned a deaf ear to all our pleadings. Greeley betrayed us. Tilton & Phillips silent, & but for that grand speech of Curtis history aould.have taken no note of our demand. We are traveling as individuals, in no say compromising the A. E. R. leaving you free in N. Y to inaugurate what work you see best While we raise the money to help you do it. Miss Anthony & I shall work in the future as in the past as individuals, right in one line totthe accomplishment of our object a if the Devil steps forward ready to help I shall say good fellow come on!
